Notwithstanding the above limited permission, reproduction of any JT content including webpage, e-mail newsletter, print publication, or any portion thereof, or republishing such content in either print or electronic form, posting it on another server, or redistributing it by e-mail or any other means, requires the prior express permission of JT.
